International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS)

Diposting oleh uncoldest Label: , ,

The International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) scheme is funded by the Commonwealth Government through the Department of Education, Employment & Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Its purpose is to attract high quality overseas postgraduate students to areas of research strength in higher education institutions to support Australia's research effort. Approximately 13 scholarships may be available in 2010 for international students from any country undertaking postgraduate research in areas of University research strengths.

The IPRS provides:

  1. Course tuition fees for two years for a Masters degree by Research and three years for a Doctoral research degree (an extension is possible for doctoral programs only); and
  2. Health insurance cover for students.
  3. All successful IPRS applicants will also receive an Adelaide Scholarships International (ASI) place which provides an annual living allowance of approximately $20,427 (2009 value) for the normal duration of the program.
Applicants should hold at least the equivalent of an Australian first class Honours degree. This is a four year degree with a major research project in the final year. Other criteria that will be taken into consideration is undergraduate performance, bachelor and honours awards and scholarships, other postgraduate degrees, publications in refereed journals, the presentation of conference papers and relevant industry experience.
